my son has that. My friend said that she got a very soft toothbrush and did very soft circula movements on babies head with a bit of shampoo.

I've not given it a go as it's not that bad and will should clear up.

I used the Dentinox shampoo on Jessica. I shampood her hair twice and made sure i rinsed with clean water. Also use a soft hair brush and brush it 3/4 times a day. it cleared up really quickly once I did these.

I found Dentinox shampoo to be invaluable, it cleared Lilibeth's cradle cap up almost after the first use

I don't know if they work for sure but have been told tea tree oil shampoo and olive oil.
